How the hell did hatton not get brain damage??

Wait a minute TS. Everything you said makes sense except for the being friends comment. Have you ever seen two friends fight? Because of their relationship and many years of knowing each other they're usually very competitive. It might start slow, but as soon as the one connects nicely with the other all hell will break loose.

Hatton does have mild brain damage. He wouldn't sound as punch drunk as he does if he never absorbed a punch in his life. A

Hatton almost assuredly has some form of brain damage. I would figure that would be the case for any really successful boxer (or atleast any pro that fought for a while) with how they label brain injuries now.

I mean he almost got his head decapitated by pac. LOL in all seriousness tho about the dirrell issue. I don't buy it. I just think they just didn't want to fight each other because they are close friends. And quite honestly I don't really feel bad about not seeing that fight because it would suck(not because these two are not great and exciting fighters but because niether of them will go in there try to take the other guy out), it would be like a sparring match. So in the end I honestly don't feel any anger towards dirrell even tho i think he's faking it. he just doesn't wan't to fight his close friend and that's fine with me cuz i dont wanna watch a half assed fight between 2 good fighters. My only gripe is why did they join a tourney of 6 where they were guaranteed to fight each other along the line. Look at Gerald Mcclellan :( He was more badass than any fighter today could ever be in death, noone woulda know a damn thing was wrong with him but his brain was imploding and he had a TANGERINE sized blood clot to boot, didn't take many shots ever in his career, not from Benn or Jackson...Probably has to do alot with Genetics, some people got it, some don't, not a mother ****er on the planet wants to find out

I think hatton had to do coke and fukk random sluts to forget about pac's left hand.

Maybe the late binge drinking and cocaine numbed and preserved Hatton's brain.

Yeah because Manny can punch harder than Abraham, present Boxers, and past Boxers..

Hes done well not to lol
